[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

But in the end, Yingxin still retained a bit of reason, he quickly raised his eyes to look at Fang Xuanling.Seeing his serious face and not looking forward to it, it formed a certain contrast with Li Shimin's earnest face.

Yixin roughly understood Fang Xuanling's attitude, but it was a pity that he had his own selfish motives, since the right to choose was in his hands, he would naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Without thinking about it for a long time, she nodded and replied: "I am willing to be the companion of the young prince, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment and do my best to assist the prince."

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction, Fang Xuanling was mixed.Li Chengqian didn't know it yet, but on this day, the fates of the two were intertwined again in another way.

On the day Li Mi entered Chang'an, the imperial court was in full swing.The governor of Yongzhou welcomed his troops into the Yamen of the state government, and after they were properly settled, they entered the palace city for an audience three days later.

A group of people looked at the streets and alleys of Chang'an: a scene of prosperity and prosperity, with a thousand things waiting to be done.Li Mi was wearing blood-stained armor, and occasionally he exchanged glances with people passing by, but the other party often looked away immediately, as if he was an evil ghost Rakshasa.

Liu Xie persuaded from the side: "My lord, since you are here, you can rest in peace."

Li Mi sighed softly, turned and entered the government office.

Three days later, in the Daxing Palace, the second-rank officials headed by Pei Ji sat on the left and right according to the division of civil and military, waiting for Li Mi's arrival.

At this time, Li Mi had already changed into civilian clothes, and all the daggers and weapons on his body were confiscated.He stood under the high platform, looking up at Li Yuan who was sitting on the throne.

Once upon a time, Li Yuan wrote to him, expressing his intention to support him as emperor.But in the blink of an eye, Li Yuan himself sat on the throne above ten thousand people.Li Mi even recalled the rumors heard in the market recently, saying that the son of King Qin is the reincarnation of heaven and man, which indicates that the world will be united for a long time, and that the Tang Dynasty will rule the world.

It's ridiculous, it's clear that a while ago, he was still a hot hero like many stars, but he has fallen to this point in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the sadness in Li Mi's eyes, Li Yuan knew that Li Mi was angry and didn't care about his rudeness. He just smiled and said: "I've heard about Xuan Sui's name for a long time, but now I see it, it's really extraordinary, like a celestial being."

Liu Xie, who was following behind Li Mi, immediately turned livid upon hearing this.Since ancient times, emperors have called themselves the son of heaven, and the term "the appearance of heaven and man" is not an exaggeration to describe Qin Huang and Han Wu, but now it is placed on Li Mi, which is actually a boast and insinuation.

What Liu Xie was worried about was that if Li Mi didn't understand the meaning of Li Yuan's words and agreed, it might become evidence of Li Mi's rebellion and be held in the hands of Li Tangjun and his ministers.

Fortunately, Li Mi still heard the irony in Li Yuan's words.The iron-blooded man who used to gallop on the battlefield had to bow his head in the face of the situation.

"Caomin is dull by nature. Your Majesty's praise, forgive Caomin for not being worthy of it." Li Mi's words made Li Yuan very happy.What Li Yuan wanted was precisely for Li Mi to bow down to him in front of all his ministers.

When the goal was achieved, His Majesty the Emperor became more amiable.

He first praised Li Mi for being brave and courageous, and he was the pillar of the country, and then he added the title of first-rank Xing Guogong, which can be described as preferential treatment.

Li Mi accepted the award without humility, as if all the glory in front of him had nothing to do with him.

When it was his turn to seal the official post, Li Yuan was silent for a while, and asked Pei Ji casually, "Are there any vacancies in the six ministries of the three provinces?"

Pei Ji thought for a moment, and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, there are no vacancies in the three provinces and six ministries, but there is only one vacancy for the post of Guanglu Temple Chancellor among the nine temples."

Li Yuan pondered and said, "The Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple? From a sixth-rank official, Xuan Sui is too talented..." As if thinking for a while, Li Yuan said again: "How about this, the current Guanglu Temple Qing will be demoted to Shaoqing, and among the Shaoqing, those who are worse in the assessment will be demoted to Cheng, and as for Xuan Sui, he will be the Minister of Guanglu Temple."

This time, not only Liu Xie, but even Li Mi couldn't help but change his face.

As soon as he came, Li Yuan gave him the position of Minister of Guanglu Temple, but he didn't clean it up. All the people were in Guanglu Temple, and they were all subordinates of Li Mi.Just ask, which of his subordinates can be convinced, maybe out of resentment, they will trip Li Mi.

But on the surface, Li Yuan seemed to be very kind to Li Mi. Since he was directly promoted from the sixth rank to the third rank, isn't it a first-class honor?

Now, Li Mi couldn't tell if he was suffering, so he could only thank him dryly.

After the court meeting dispersed, the emperor returned to the palace, and all the ministers had left in a hurry, Liu Xie helped Li Mi who was staggering a bit: "My lord, Li Yuan is really deceiving people too much."

Li Mi closed his eyes slowly, and said with a wry smile: "Your name, remember to change it, otherwise, if someone listens to it one day, our heads will be lost."

Hearing this, Liu Xie spat out of nowhere: "Bah, you have never experienced such uselessness in your life, at worst, let's go!"

Li Mi laughed miserably: "Let's go? This Chang'an, but there is a boundary where there is no return. Once you come, you can't leave."

Li Mi looked around the Daxing Palace for a week, the carved beams and painted buildings were so angry.He once thought that he would ascend the throne here, but he did not expect to become a vassal here.

"You thought Li Yuan was still the person who called me brother and brother, but he is no longer. Now he is the undisputed Son of Heaven, and he is just taking the opportunity to build his prestige."

In the palace of the king of Qin, Li Shimin was talking with Fang Xuanling.Li Shimin dropped a white piece, and said with a light smile, "Has Xuan Ling ever heard that Li Mi was appointed Minister of Guanglu Temple?"

Fang Xuanling nodded, the sunspots fell, and the two whites were taken away.

"Sure enough, as Xuanling expected, Father really did not give Li Mi military power."

Fang Xuanling said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty not only didn't give military power, he didn't even let Li Mi intervene in the affairs of the six ministries. Minister of Guanglu Temple, if you put it nicely, that's a temple chief from the third grade; if you put it badly, it might as well be A Ministry of Food under the Ministry of Rites. No one in the court knows that the three provinces and six ministries are in charge of state affairs, and the nine temples and five are in charge of royal affairs. Especially in Guanglu Temple, the shameful thing about serving wine and food is changing every day. How is this any different from being a waiter?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He shook his head and laughed, "If the original Guanglu Temple Minister heard what you said, you must faint from anger. I've made up my mind, if Xuanling makes a mistake in the future, I will definitely ask you to be the Minister of Guanglu Temple, to see if you can still talk about today's words calmly."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Shimin realized that something was wrong.It is the emperor's right to appoint the Minister of Guanglu Temple. His words clearly showed his ambition.

Fang Xuanling didn't seem to notice it, he laid down his breath leisurely, and said with a light smile, "Your Highness, I've accepted it."

Li Shimin took a careful look at the chessboard, and reluctantly surrendered.In terms of chess skills, he was not as good as Fang Xuanling, and he didn't have the special skill of seeing all directions and listening to all directions like Fang Laohu.

Fang Xuanling did not expose him, but withdrew his joking expression, and said seriously: "Speaking of the future, has your Highness ever thought about Li Mi's heart?"

Li Shimin was startled, and asked in confusion, "What does Xuanling mean by that?"

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "There is a saying that things must be turned against each other. Li Mi is very ambitious. Now His Majesty has placed him in the position of Minister of Guanglu Temple. Although he can be stable for a while, in the long run, Li Mi will definitely be dissatisfied, and even ...resentment. Your Highness has to be on guard, don't get too close to this Guanglu Temple minister."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I understand, thank you Xuanling for your reminder."

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment before hesitatingly said: "Your Highness, I have a close friend... He is from Jingzhao Duling, and he has been exchanging letters for many years. This person is full of great talents. After his death, he has been idle until now. If he gets this person, His Highness will definitely be like a tiger with wings."

Now, Li Shimin was really curious.He knew in his heart that Fang Xuanling was not a person who would show favoritism, and only those with real skills could win Fang Xuanling's eyes.And the person who can be cited as a close friend and praised by him will definitely not be an ordinary person.

Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Who is Xuanling talking about?"

Fang Xuanling replied: "This man's surname is Du, and his name is Ruhui. To tell you the truth, I have sent a handwritten letter to him. I believe he will come to visit him soon."

"Okay!" Li Shimin clapped his palms and said, "All the talented people in the world gather in my Qin/king/mansion, so why worry about failing in your great career!"
